Chapter 1650: The Curse King Appears

In Lu Yun’s eyes, Qi Fengyun’s grasp of formula dao was second to only Qing Yu’s. He could be rightfully hailed as the second greatest in formula dao and would be of great help at Dongfang Mo’s side. At the same time, his cultivation was sure to progress rapidly with Dongfang Mo’s help.

Dongfang Ao arrived in Immortal Nation after Qi Fengyun departed and helped Xia Xu oversee the nation’s affairs. Gradually, Ruina Immortal Nation became part of Immortal Nation.

As her ruler, Xia Xu had never imagined that an insignificant slave such as he would one day become king of the Immortal Nation and receive homage from all sides. Granted, since Immortal Nation was on the periphery of the world, the kingdoms and sects who flocked to her banner now were either fringe territories or floundered in the wake of dead backers. These factions of immortal dao struggled for survival all on their lonesome.

Some had been outright abandoned.

The layout of immortal dao in Myriadsea World was quite complicated. Many immortal dao sects had strayed far from their original intentions and no longer cultivated immortal dao. They remained only to nibble away at the great dao.

All of that was about to change with the rise of the Immortal Nation—it was already expanding at a furious pace. Though the nation was the once Truecloud Nation, it was Ruina Immortal Nation in essence. The latter’s cultivators, immortals, and guardians of sequence were out in full force.

Expansion and further expansion!

Closest to the sphere of immortal dao were the ones of monster spirit and demonic dao. At the same time, they were the two great daos most deeply entangled with immortal dao. Most of the powers that’d infiltrated immortal dao belonged to those two. Thus, the Immortal Nation’s armies charged straight into the heartland of demonic dao, slashing and hacking until they’d crushed any sign of demonic dao.

Demon King Boxun had suffered heavy injuries at Lu Yun’s hands, indirectly turning the mighty demonic dao into one of the weakest. Not only did the Immortal Nation pillage demonic dao, so did its neighbors monster spirit dao and shamanic dao stir to action.

Boxun was livid and anxious, but there was nothing he could do.

Myriadsea World was as if a massive game of chess. The great armies and daos on its board could erode and devour anyone else, modifying the latter’s citizens to cultivating the aggressor’s great dao upon conquest.

Immortal dao had once been invaded in this manner. If it hadn’t been for their occupation of Ruina forestalling further action from the various great daos, it would’ve fallen long ago.

……

“The demonic dao that this Boxun brought with him… is really nothing special.” Inside the world of demonic dao, one of Lu Yun’s replicas casually reached out for a segment of demonic dao and shook his head at his findings.

“It’s so inferior to the demonic dao that the demon of immortal dao later creates. If he was here in this world of sequence… Well, he’ll certainly arrive at a world of sequence at some point in time to create his demonic dao.” Lu Yun paused, recalling the era prior to the great devastation, the end of reincarnation in which the demon’s dao reigned supreme. The version here was far lesser than his future creation.

“Senior brother Dongfang is here on the original emperor’s orders to create a world of immortal dao sequence, so where is this world? How am I supposed to leave? Where are all the other people from? Are they from an era before the original Hongmeng or… the unknown expanses?” Lu Yun murmured thoughtfully to himself. “The unknown expanses include the areas of darkness, but those areas aren’t the entirety of the unknown expanses.

“The Curse King might come from them, or he might come from a world of order like the fourth realm. Perhaps we really are the holes in the paper, and the lands of darkness the reality of our existence.”

Lu Yun sank into deep thought about the manner of everyone’s existence. He’d imparted formula dao to this world to modify the foundations of this world’s immortal dao and replace the old version. If the dao in the world of immortals traversed the Hongmeng and reached the fourth realm, it would resonate with the immortal dao here and pierce through the void to enter this world of sequence.

But… how should he leave?

He didn’t even know how he’d arrived here—why had the crack in the void deposited him here? Just where was this world of sequence? In the unknown expanses? The known? Or even the lands of darkness?

Lu Yun lifted his head with a blank look. The bright sun in the firmament made this world appear the same as any other.

Bam!

A huge black fist descended from the sky and smashed Lu Yun’s replica flat.

“Damn it, another soybean!” Boxun grumbled on Black Demon Mountain and continued to recover from his wounds in closed door cultivation.

After his numerous protests met with no response, he’d given up on the outside world. He would be able to regain all of his territory as long as his injuries healed. If he chose to resist all of the invaders with everything at his disposal right now, he would ultimately see the complete destruction of demonic dao.

Contrary to the original Hongmeng, his homeland still existed. There was still hope and no need to forge ahead in one last desperate gamble. Demonic dao could return to its peak as long as he was alive and the Demonic Vine remained on Black Demon Mountain. He would still stand a chance of establishing a world of demonic dao sequence.

Even if his efforts here were completely erased, he could leave with the vine and hide in the darkness. Once he recovered, he could rebuild his territory.

“Black Demon Mountain is no longer safe.” Boxun rose to his feet. “Others will be along to attack me now that I am injured. They’ll take advantage of this opportunity to eliminate me, so I need to leave as soon as possible!”

He waved the source of demonic dao in Myriadsea World into his hands—the Demonic Vine. Leaping into the air, he stared into the sky as a pillar of black light.

Bam!

The void trembled as an invisible net seemed to snap into place around the sky. Demon King Boxun plunged headfirst into it and was bounced back.

“As I thought!” He reappeared at the mountain’s peak and stared up at the sky with a foreboding expression. A boundary of nine colors had appeared to envelop the landmass.

“Demon King, you’re not going anywhere before demonic dao is destroyed.” A coquettish woman stood atop the boundary and tittered at Boxun. She looked to be sixteen years old and wore an outfit made of feathers in seven different colors. Coy, amorous, and inviting, her every smile and gesture seemed to be the epitome of charm.

“Indeed, Boxun. That is your name, is it not, Demon King?” A second figure appeared next to the woman—a tall and limber man. Dressed in black robes, his skin was so pale that it was almost translucent. His hair was black and each strand seemed to glow with a mysterious dark light.

“You can leave if you want, just leave your life behind,” the man chuckled.

……

“Him?! What’s he doing here?!” Far removed in the land of immortal dao, Lu Yun jerked with shock when he saw the man.

The Curse King!

The man in black was the Curse King! The one whose replica Yueyi had destroyed in the fourth realm! He was here too!

Was he here in the flesh or another replica?

Oh my my. Spicy. Too soon for a Dio joke?

Interesting tidbit about conquerors automatically changing their new subjects' dao to their own...
